i have had a repetitive dream lately that i would like to share;

THER ARE THREE SWIMMING POOL SIZE CONTAINERS FULL OF FISH, AND THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE LINED UP TO OBTAIN/ PURCHASE A FISH.  THE FIRST TWO CONTAINERS ARE FULL OF SLIMY WATER, DEAD AND ROTTING FISH.  SO EVERYONE INCLUDING MYSELF IS GOING TO THE THIRD CONTAINER OF FISH AND RECIEVING THEIR FISH; BUT ONCE THEIR FISH IS IN THEIR HAND IT EITHER VANISHES OR BECOMES DESEASED AND ROTTEN.  I WAKE UP JUST BEFORE I GET TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE.

i have an idea what the dream means; but i am welcoming second opinions from anyone who wants to reply;  i have had the dream 3 times thus far.             ~shadow

EVEN THOUGH DARKNESS SURROUNDS ME, THOUGH THE WORLD IS DROWNING,

I KNOW MY SAVIOR CHRIST HAS FOUND ME, HIS HAND OF MERCY ALWAYS GUIDING;

HAND OF MERCY, LIFT ME UP AGAIN;

HAND OF MERCY , MY ONE TRUE FRIEND;

I WAS PERVERSE, I ENJOYED MY INIQUITY, I WALLOWED IN MY SINFUL WAYS,

I NEVER DESERVED TO BE SET FREE, THANK GOD FOR HIS HAND OF GRACE;

HAND OF GRACE, BE WITH ME TODAY;

HAND OF GRACE, SHOW ME THE WAY.

WHEN I FALL HE LIFTS ME, WITH HIS HAND OF MERCY;

WHEN I AM MISPLACED, HE SHOWS HIS HAND OF GRACE.

HAND OF MERCY, LIFT ME AGAIN;

HAND OF MERCY , MY ONLY FRIEND;

HAND OF GRACE, WITH ME TODAY;

HAND OF GRACE, SHOW ME THE WAY.

I CANNOT FEEL PHYSICALLY, NEITHER OF MY EYES CAN SEE,

WITH HEART AND SPIRITUALLY, I  KNOW YOUR HAND OF MERCY.

CHRIST'S NEVERENDING LOVE, LEADS ME IN THIS RACE,

REACHES DOWN FROM ABOVE, WITH HIS HAND OF GRACE.

HAND OF MERCY, LIFT ME AGAIN;

HAND OF MERCY , MY ONLY FRIEND;

HAND OF GRACE, WITH ME TODAY;

HAND OF GRACE, SHOW ME THE WAY.

SLAVES, SERVENTS TO PHARAOH, WHAT MORE DO WE KNOW?  DOES THE FATHER EVEN HEAR, CAN GOD TRULY DELIVER?  IN BONDAGE SO VERY LONG, REPENT OUR SINS WERE WRONG.  WE MUST NOT LIVE IN FEAR, HAVE FAITH GOD DOES HEAR; ONLY THE FATHER TRULY KNOWS, A LIGHTED PATH HE WILL SHOW.  DO NOT TREMBLE NOR SHIVER, TRUST FOR GOD WILL DELIVER.

THIS MAN NAMED MOSES; WHO IS HE?  MY BROTHER? HOW COULD IT BE?  HE ASKS ME TO SPEAK ON GOD'S BEHALF.  AM I TO BE HIS VOICE, HIS OTHER HALF?  MEANT TO LEAD SLAVES TO A PROMISED LAND, AGAINST PHARAOH'S ARMY HOW WILL WE STAND?

MOSES ANSWERS, QUITE SIMPLY, GOD WILL SET US FREE.   STANDING BEFORE PHARAOH, "LET OUR PEOPLE GO."  HIS HEART WAS STONE AS COULD BE, "HEBREW SLAVES WILL NEVER BE FREE."  BY GOD'S POWER AND MIGHT, WE DID MIRACLES IN HIS SIGHT. A SNAKE FORMED FROM MOSES' ROD, DEVOURING THEIR SERPENTS; PROVING OUR GOD.  PHAROAH STILL WOULD NOT HEAR, SO TO THE RIVER WE DREW HIM NEAR.

MOSES STRETCHED FORTH HIS ROD, SHOWING THE POWER OF GOD.  BLOOD FILLED THE RIVER COMPLETELY, DEAD FISH CAUSING IT TO STINK IMMENSELY. THE MAGICIANS DID THE SAME, COLDNESS OF PHAROAH'S HEART, "YOUR PEOPLE WILL NEVER DEPART."

AARON, "DO NOT TREMBLE OR SHIVER, TRUST IN GOD TO DELIVER.  BE SILENT BE STILL, KNOWING GOD HAS PERFECT WILL.  GOD TELLS US TO SERVE HIM, BUT PHARAOH REFUSES TO LISTEN.  GOD WILL SEND FORTH PLAGUES NEVER SEEN, PHARAOH WILL UPON HIS OWN UNDERSTANDING LEAN.  FIRST FROGS FROM THE SKY WILL RAIN, AND CATTLE WILL DIE DUE TO THE MURRAIN."

GOD SAYS, "PHARAOH WILL STILL BE STUBBORN, TAKE YE ASHES FROM THE FURNACE BEFORE HIM.  SCATTER THEM TO HEAVEN IN HIS SIGHT, BECOMING BOILS ON THEIR SKIN BY MY MIGHT."  THE EGYPTIANS RAN AND HID BECAUSE OF THE BOILS, HOWEVER THE HEART OF PHARAOH REMAINED SPOILED.

"MOSES RISE UP EARLY IN THE MORNING, DECLARE TO HIM MY WORDS AND SAYINGS~ THUS SAITH THE LORD GOD- LET MY PEOPLE GO, SO THEY SERVE ME AND ME ALONE THEY SHALL FOLLOW.  OR BEGINNING TOMORROW I WILL SEND WORSE PLAGUES, AND THEY SHALL BE CUT FROM THE EARTH THAT DAY." SO PHARAOH COULD NOT DENY GOD'S POWER, THE LORD RAINED HAIL AND FIRE IN AN AWESOME SHOWER.

SURELY MY PEOPLE HAVE DONE EVIL TO YOURS,  STOP THE PLAGUES AND GO FREE OF COURSE.  MOSES AND I LEFT HIS PRESENCE, RETURNED THE DAY BACK TO PLEASANT.  SHORTLY AFTER PHARAOH RETURNED HIS HEART TO STEEL, HIS HEART OF LIES WAS REVEALED.

GOD HAD TO TAKE EGYPT'S FIRST BORN SONS, TO WIN FREEDOM FOR OUR NATION.  YET STILL PHARAOH PURSUED TO THE RED SEA, OUR PEOPLE CROSSED ON DRY LAND, DUE TO THE WORK OF GOD'S POWERFUL HAND.  EVEN WITH THIS MIRACLE BEFORE HIS EYES, PHARAOH STILL COULD NOT SACRIFICE HIS PRIDE. HE LEAD HIS ARMIES TO THEIR DEATHS, THE WAVES BURIED THEM IN THE DEPTHS.

IF ONLY WE WOULD REMEMBER,

HOW GOD'S GRACE DELIVERED.

HOW HIS WONDERFUL MAJESTY,

FROM OUR BONDAGE- SET US FREE.
